Places I've been

Did I already post this ... ? I have a vague feeling that I did, but I can't find it. So you'll just have to forgive me if this is a double post. :-)

Since I will soon be visiting one of the last few countries in western Europe that I haven't been to, I thought it'd be fun to share this map showing all the different countries that I've had the good fortune to get to travel to in my life. It doesn't look like that many - damn these tiny European countries!! But there are actually quite a few - 22, I think. Since I'm not counting Norway ;-) and not the Isle of Man. So that's not too bad, even though it doesn't look like much. At least I've been to China, that raises the blue quotient a bit. I really need to get to Russia soon ... :-)

my littlest critter

Sometimes things are so crazy, out there and/or annoying that I just have to share it with someone somehow. Or I feel like I simply must record my thoughts on it for posterity. This is a good place to do that.

About Me

I'm 36 years old. I live in Oslo, the capital of Norway. I love chocolate. I keep freshwater turtles. I like to travel and to see new places. I like to play board games and card games. I'm a big fan of Keanu Reeves, ElfQuest, The Phantom of the Opera, and the even more fantastic opera musical Which Witch. The highlight of my year is the Eurovision Song Contest. I love movies. My all-time favorite movie is Gone with the Wind. I LOVE to read. My favorite author is Terry Pratchett. My favorite book is The Count of Monte Christo.

A note on language

I write mostly in English on this blog. Whatever is written in Norwegian is something that either deals with situations, persons & phenomena specific to Norway, or is contigent on the reader understanding the Norwegian language in order to get the point.
